How Much Scottie Scheffler’s Caddie Is Set To Make At The PGA Championship

The PGA Championship is the second men's Major of the year and, at Quail Hollow, there was some major prize money up for grabs.

Obviously, the Wanamaker Trophy is the main prize but, on Sunday, Scottie Scheffler secured a third Major win, as well as the Wanamaker Trophy and the $3.42 million first prize.

Not only did Scheffler receive a large payday, but his caddie, Ted Scott, also secured a big paycheck for his hard work throughout the Major week.

As we know from the likes of Scott, there is potential for bagmen to make millions of dollars and, with the PGA Championship, he secured a paycheck of around $300,000 to $350,000.

When it comes to payment, a player will usually give his caddie 10% of a winning check; that means Scott should be taking home a lovely $342,000 bonus.

Last year, the 2024 PGA Championship purse stood at $18.5 million, $1 million more than 2023. For 2025, it's $19 million, $500,000 up from the previous year.

Xander Schauffele claimed a maiden Major at Valhalla in 2024, pocketing $3.33 million in the process. That meant his caddie, Austin Kaiser, secured a payday of around $330,000.

Scott has been on the bag for Scheffler since 2021 and, during that time, has helped secure many big wins, including three Majors and several Signature Event titles.
